I've made my entire site using the Codeigniter framework, and it is working well without any hassles (Note I'm using MySQL in the website).
I've been told now to try and get it on to the Google servers as they are excellent for scalability. I just have one huge problem, is there any way or step by step tutorial that helps me do this as I've read up on Quercus which allows for the php to run but I haven't found something explaining how to use the Codeigniter framework with the Quercus.
Please any help or push in the right direction would be appreciated!
We announced Native PHP support for Google App Engine at I/O.
https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/php/
After Google announced native PHP support I decided to deploy CodeIgniter on Google App Engine. It works natively, tough certain extensions to the core must be done in order to use PHP Runtime API.
I've started writing a series of articles you might want to check out which document and clarify the process of deploying CodeIgniter natively.
http://blog.programming4design.com/codeigniter-on-google-appengine-for-php/
PHP is being added natively to App Engine, maybe this year, but I'm not sure when. The App Engine Team announced this on the parntership event at Paris last week.
CodeIgniter works fine on Google App Engine's PHP.

Source files for the entire above demo site are in Github at : https://github.com/sasidhar/codeigniter-gae-app

I have already created a REST API w/ the Slim framework (php microframework), which is basically a few php files in a ftp server, and a SQL table.
I want to implement this very simple configuration with Google Api Engine, and there's so much resources and confusing pages in the google tutorials I can't seem to find what I'm looking for...
Can someone steer me to the right direction please ? Again, just a few php files (w/ Slim) and a sql database, that's it.
Thank you very much.
If I were you I would begin with the PHP tutorial for Google App Engine, that you can find here 1.
Try to deploy your existing app there, but be aware that the PHP runtime is still in Beta. Also your app will execute in a restricted "sandbox" environment 2.
Hope it helps.
I have a question about web and native app development and integrating multiple frameworks.
I currently have a web app (html 5, css, js/jquery, php, mysql) and want to make available as a native app on Android and iOS. It uses Yii framework and I was thinking about using Netbeans IDE and Apache Cordova to make the conversion. How do I go about this? Can someone supply some links or an explanation to clear things up for me?
If you have a different method you'd like to recommend instead of Cordova, I'd appreciate that too. Please provide why you prefer that method though.
I've seen plenty of information on this forum and the web that explains this process, but non with Yii in mind.
Thank you for all and any help!
I had the same issue. since we have decided to drop the native app and use an html5 website design i picked, Yii+backbone.js .
in your case, if you plan on building a native app, the backend ( PHP or Yii in your case ) will not be used as a smart web server , because you will use a JS framework.
Known and well loved and used frameworks are:
angular.js
backbone.js
knockout.js
ember.js
Keep in mind, php is a server side language. Its not client based. Yii could serve as a backend providing the data thats all. When you want to use cordova you need a client side framework like jquery mobile.
I was wondering whether it's possible to install a phpbb instance to Google App Engine since I saw this: https://developers.google.com/cloud-sql/ and this: http://php-apps.appspot.com/
Standing up a phpBB instance on Google App Engine and Cloud SQL.
They seem to have done it. I am trying to look for a Youtube tutorial.
I am not that expert but as far as I know GAE is not natively designed for PHP.
You can definitely use this instruction as a basis on How to Add phpBB with Jelastic service. The given instruction seems to present a pretty easy start.
Yes, it's possible -- see: http://fredsa.allen-sauer.com/2013/07/standing-up-phpbb-instance-on-google.html
(App Engine now has a PHP runtime: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/php/).
Maybe. It's hard to say. It's possible to run SQL as well as PHP via Quercus (JVM). The limitations you'll run into are if phpBB depends on any specific behavior that App Engine does not support, such as native filesystem access. I haven't heard of anyone trying phpBB on GAE before, so if you took a shot at it, you'd be blazing a trail!
I am planning to create a facebook canvas app using php sdk.
Google app engine providing free account so I am planning to do it.
But still there is a problem , right now google app engine support only java and python.
Is there any way to run php and mysql in google app engine?
Okay, I am two years late, but from today PHP is officially available on Google App Engine.
PHP can't run natively on the App Engine. But, there is an open source tool called Quercus, a 100% Java implementation of the PHP language (requires JDK 1.5). Since the App Engine now supports Java this means you can use Quercus to run PHP scripts on the App Engine.
You can run PHP scripts on App Engine in the JVM with Quercus; however, it's still not possible to use mySQL; you'll need to use the App Engine datastore. This will require rewriting any code that touches a database, so existing PHP scripts aren't going to work without a lot of hacking.
Note: relational database support is on the App Engine roadmap, but no one knows exactly when it will be available, or whether the relational database made available will be mySQL.
Google App engine now supports PHP run time. Check official documentation here - https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/php/
You can check this blog for details on announcement - http://spsneo.com/blog/2013/05/18/php-on-google-app-engine/
Quercus is not as good as running PHP natively and it has known issues. As i understand you are starting to create an application, so i suggest using Python in appengine. Its very easy to get started.
If you have LAMP based application in mind and if you do not want to learn a new language check out Amazon Beanstalk.
I suggest making a decision based on the strengths of the platform and flexibility you need.
Google has officially announced its support for PHP on Google App Engine (GAE)
How to host PHP web application on GAE for free is explained in this tutorial.
I have made a site which can pull and upload videos from and to YouTube,
http://www.tole-rants.com/
This site was made with the combination of Python, Google App Engine and YouTube API. It is hosted at Google App Engine. I did not code the main structure of this application bcos I don't speak Python so I was made with a Python programmer. However, we found that this application has been causing lot of problems, especially on uploading videos.
Now I hope I can code the entire site myself with PHP - is it possible?
Another big question - do I have to host this site on Google's?? Can I just host this site on a normal/ standard server which I normally do when I develop a website?
I have read the documentation about YouTube API for developers, but I still cannot get my head around if I want to make this site from scratch with PHP.
It seems to suggest that using a PHP framework - Zend Framework, which I have no clues about it - do I really have to use a PHP framework then?
Any thoughts/ better suggestions or any online tutorials/ books I can follow through?
Many thanks,
Lau
No you dont have to host it on Google's. You can host it anywhere. And you don't need to use the Zend Framework. What they are suggesting is that you use the Zend framework's GData library to communicate with YouTube API. But you wouldnt even need that. YouTube Data API documentation is complete with examples. I am sure it will help you. But ofcourse if you have some specific questions you can ask them here.
